Bug: Attempt to export buffer with invalid #+BEGIN_SRC fails with cryptic message [6.36trans]

Bug: Attempt to export buffer with invalid #+BEGIN_SRC fails with cryptic message [6.36trans]

[Aidan Gauland]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 2737 bytes --]

Attempting to export a buffer with a #+BEGIN_SRC block with no language
specified (i.e. an argumentless #+BEGIN_SRC block) fails with the
message "apply: Wrong type argument: consp, nil".  This is rather
cryptic; it would be nice if Org-publish could say where it failed even
if not why it failed.

Well in the manual (Literal examples) it is written that: 

 This is done with the `src' block,

 where you also need to specify the name of the major mode
  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 that should be used to fontify the example:

(underline is mine)

reading the manual could be a first good option; 
asking the list a second.

Cheers,
Giovanni

|     org-exp: raise an error when trying to export code blocks w/o languages
|
|     * lisp/ob.el (org-babel-get-src-block-info): ensure that we don't
|       match (and return info for) source blocks without a language
|
|     * lisp/org-exp.el (org-export-replace-src-segments-and-examples):
|       updated source code block regexp so that the presence of a language
|       can be explicitly checked.  Also now raising an error when a source
|       block does not have a language.

So there will be a more helpful error message.
